WIMBORNE Town are set to head to the capital this weekend as their FA Cup journey continues.
James Stokoe's Magpies booked their spot in the third qualifying round with wins over Blackfield & Langley and Basingstoke Town so far.
But they face a stern test on Saturday, travelling to take on National League South outfit Hampton & Richmond Borough.
Gary McCann's Beavers currently sit ninth in the division and eased through 3-0 against Walton Casuals in the last round.
Wimborne, who compete one level below Hampton, have had a whole week to prepare after their scheduled league trip to Gosport Borough on Wednesday was called off due to concerns over fuel shortages.
Wimborne are the only Dorset side competing at this stage of the FA Cup, after Poole Town, Hamworthy United and Shaftesbury were all knocked out in the last round.
Winners of third qualifying round ties will collect £5,625, with losing sides pocketing £1,875.
